19 Battle over Denerim (1/2)
Logan puts his armor on and goes out to the gates and says to all the men and women in armor, ”Brothers and Sisters today we fight a foe that doesn't fear and doesn't rest. They outnumber us at least 1000 to 1 but do you know what we will hold Denerim because we can the last two month of preparation we're for today so we can hold Denerim until our future king and queen come with reinforcement from Redcliffe we will hold them in check with everything we have. We will defend Denerim for our families that are in Fort Drakon and for our friends that are with our king fighting the Darkspawn so let's face death as it comes with a smile instead with fear because I will be honest with you most of us won't survive but your families will survive even if we have to burn the streets and hold the line until we can't you were trained hard by me and got shields from the blacksmiths that worked day and night to make them they should help you. I will tell you a story of 300 men that fought a million men alone they all had shields like that they guarded themselves with it as well as his next to him. They might have died but they hold their position long enough for the others to destroy and make the millions flee for their life and will do there same but we will survive because we have the advantage here.
Now second-in-command is Cauthrien if I'm not around she will take command over the troops for our plan, we will defend the city gates until it breaks once broken we retreat through the Market District and the Alienage that are full of traps you remember where we put them to not fall in them yourself. We meet at the Palace District where we have the high ground against them. Keep in mind the traps there too. We will hold the lines there until they storm us once stormed we retreat further into the base of Fort Drakon now then. There we will hold them at best since they can't use numbers against us. The last line is the entrance of Fort Drakon itself nothing will pass through there until everyone from us is death.”
”On the walls and prepare the catapults and the Archer prepare their bows today there will be a feast waiting for us. On command shoot.”
The Darkspawn was in front of Denerim and was looking at it. Suddenly they began to move and Logan says, ”Shoot!” The catapults shoot giant fireballs while the first line of archers shoot their arrow then they reload and the second line shoot their arrows like this endlessly until they run out of arrows once that happened they changed with the third and fourth line while they don the same as the other the first and second line collect new arrows from the fifth line that hold quivers full of Arrows from there it was just repeating killing a good chunk of Darkspawn with this tactic until Logan says, ”Time to retreat destroy the catapults that are here and retreat like planned towards the Palace District through the Market District or Alienage.” The army retreated and Logan with them.
Arriving at the Palace district Logan looked for his troops some were already in position while others never make it there. The city was burning and the Darkspawn was fierce killing the troops that didn't have the stamina to continue running stopped and killed as many Darkspawn they could Logan lost 1/16 of his troops to the Darkspawn and they still need to wait at least a day until reinforcement arrive.
”Hold the lines we will not falter,” says Logan killing Darkspawn left and right seeing how his men are killing and dying on the Battlefield. ”Retreat deeper in we must hold them there with everything we have,” says Logan and the troops retreated slowly and in United showing the Darkspawn that they will not fall fast. After looking around Logan can see he lost a total of 1/4 of his troops. ”We must hold the line here as long as we can. Half a day is over and tomorrow the king and reinforcements will arrive and flank the Darkspawn from behind. We must hold this line as the Spartans did against the Persians. Build a wall of shields sixth and seventh lines first to fourth lines go to your respective position in the backline shoot blind at the enemy line fifth assist the first to fourth lines with arrows eighth lines behind sixth and seventh lines ready to step I will be with the sixth, seventh, and eighth lines Cauthrien you with the others. If they break through the ninth to tenth lines will kill them.”
All were in position Logan stood with the sixth and seventh line holding the line pushing them back and kill the first line of the Darkspawn and put their shield in front of them again, while the Archers were shooting the backline of the Darkspawn hitting them. The hold this position for three hours until the ogres and the Archdemon showed himself.
”Retreat into the Tower i will hold them here with the sixth and seventh line. Now, men, we will die in glory fight strong and don't give them anything they will do the same,” says Logan to his men that will company him in this carnage.
Logan and his men engage into the fray. Fighting the enemy holding the gates of Fort Drakon. Logan could see that they will be overrun in no time so he goes into striker mode and brings the Darkspawn down helping the men get into formation in front of the gates. Killing some Darkspawn Logan retreats to the men seeing the hopeless situation he tells his men, ”Today is a good day to die.” And runs in again into the Darkspawn leading the men into death.
Logan begins to go into his Devil Trigger and kills his enemy with his sword and Justice materialize Ebony and Ivory and Logan to shoot his enemy down. Then Logan is set in flames and both guns too. Gunslinger class was on and Logan shoots into the Darkspawn shooting killing many of them. He begins a killing spree and his men too seeing how Logan takes them down easily they get pumped with courage and run behind him killing the Darkspawn in front of them. Finally, the Archdemon attacked with his breath killing almost 1/3 of Logan remaining men's as well as some Darkspawn that were in the way.
”Don't falter the king is almost here we will show him that we can hold Denerim until the end,” says Logan and he goes into Stormcaller and kills through the enemies lines as if nothing once inside he uses Voidwalker class and drops a nova bomb in the middle of enemies and retreats using his Sentinel class to retreat back to his man while growing his void shield and the use the Tower shield he made in Orzammar to run through the enemy like they are nothing. The Archdemon was ready to breathe again against the Logan men's and Logan arriving there where it wanted to attack and uses his Defender class and builds a giant shield that deflects the breath from the Archdemon. But that didn't stop the onslaught of the Darkspawn on the ground killing his men leaving him with only with 1/8 of his men.
Looking into the sky Logan begins to think about Abigail that is in Kirkwall and gets new strength to fight and the sky suddenly becomes dark and Logan can see Shura in the middle of the Battlefield looking at him and Shura says, ”It's time that i return him to you. Just entertain me more i even gift you with another pet or better-said a friend for waiting so long.”
Shura throws something to Logan, who catches it and Shura leaves the battlefield but clouds were building up it began to rain and you could feel a pressure in the air even the Archdemon felt fear like it meets his worst nightmare. That was the first time they see how the Darkspawn showed fear and the men that were left got new strength and courage from seeing this. Suddenly everyone could hear growling in the air and the head of an azure scale dragon appeared out of the dark cloud you could see the beginning of the body but not the end of it. Next to it was a human-like thing floating in the air.
”I will go and have some fun see you later,” says the human-like thing and flies into the Darkspawn and says, ”Great Tornado!” and begins to spin and pierce through the Darkspawn army, while the azure dragon says, ”Don't take all the fun.” and fall down like a comet and changes into his human form. He was in a dark blue armor with a giant shield in one hand and a two-handed sword in the other and with the fall he cuts the Archdemon's right wing falling into the army of Darkspawn together. Both go on a killing spree against the Darkspawn.
”Finally we can fight too I waited to long for this, ” says the dragon in blue armor and the other one says, ”It's been a harsh training we had to go through to get here. Just remember it in that room without an exit been just dropped inside and told us to survive. Now we can finally do wild.” ”Don't forget that's only a temporary form for you. If you ran out to make your way to the master he got something from our Teacher.” says the Dragon in blue armor.
Suddenly the Archdemon whined and called for a retreat into the Palace District while the Darkspawn retreat Logan and his troops engaged the retreating Darkspawn. After the no Darkspawn insight Logan says, ”I want a group of scout on their tail to see what they are up too.” Some volunteers have gone looking at what the Darkspawn might be doing. Logan looked then at the two newcomers and asks, ”Who came out of the Egg and who is the gift of Shura?”
The dragon in human form knees down and says, ”I was in the egg master and the other was placed as a companion for me there later on after seeing us fight together our teacher or the God you call Shura had the idea of gifting him to you.”
”Alright, and the names are?” asks Logan and this time the other says, ”Well my name is Wargreymon X but the other one doesn't have one,” Wargreymon X says pointing at the other, who then says, ”It's because Master hadn't time to name me when I was kidnapped by that God when I came out of my egg. Please master name me.”
”Well, how about you tell me your race and I give you a good name that suits you?” says Logan and the one in question says, ”I have the bloodline of the Azure Dragon God mixed with that of the Leviathan after taking your blood I got also a demonic bloodline. But it's suppressed by my Azure Dragon God bloodline. I'm the longest with the bloodline of the Azure Dragon God thanks to the Leviathan bloodline and also darker than to the demonic blood or that's what teacher always said. Now a name, please.” ”Alright, Ryuu will be fine. I hope you like it because I'm not good with naming thing.” says Logan and looks at Wargreymon X and says ”You can't fool me,” and shows the first Generation Digivice and says again, ”I know you will devolve soon am I right.” ”Yes, master I will devolve soon.*sighs*” says Wargreymon X, and Logan says, ”You will need a name too how about snake or lizard since you wanted to fool me.” ”No master please a real name anything but that.” says Wargreymon X, and Ryuu says, ”That how we were named while training by the teacher that why please give him a real name.” Both go down and beg for a nice name for Wargreymon X and Logan says, ”Fine Dino will do for now.” ”Thanks, Master,” say Dino and Ryuu, and Logan says, ”How about you call me Logan instead of Master.” ”Alright Logan,” say both and Dino devolves to Agumon X telling Logan that's because his bloodline is very pure that he got his antibody form. Ryuu can stay in his Human form as long as he wants though he likes his Dragon form more because he feels more freedom in it.
Walking inside Fort Drakon with the remaining troops of the sixth and seventh lines they regrouped with the other some thanked the Dino and Ryuu for helping them even though they don't understand how they come to be after some lying and scheming Logan could but it so everyone understood that they are sent by the Maker to help them against the blight.
Logan then sends Ryuu away in direction of Redcliffe or better-said some hours away from Denerim to inform of the situation in Denerim to the others. Leaving Dino and Logan there. ”So how was training with Shura?” asks Logan and Dino answers, ”He just picked me up gave me something to drink and I evolve into my x state afterward he dropped me to the same place as Ryuu and told us to survive. We survived for almost 25 years in that space surrounded by thing far more dangerous than this Archdemon.” ”Good for you,” says Logan and suddenly the scouts came with the news, ”The Darkspawn is trying to dig a hole in the ground but can't thanks to our preparations they retreated to the Market District to try their luck there.” ”Go to Cauthrien and tell her what you tell me and send her here,” says Logan to the scout who retreats after a salute.
